Instant Pot Chicken thigh stew

Going to the local butcher is a regular thing that we enjoy doing during the week. We never know what deal might be happening. This week we got a great deal on chicken thigh, $6.15 for 4 gorgeous ones. So we focused on making different meals with this Instant Pot chicken thigh Stew. Which made each meal real cheap! If you really what the meat to stretch, after it’s cooked with the help of a fork you can shred it and add another protein to the dish.

The ingredients put into this Pot is very Mediterranean. Our style of cooking continues to be the same as if we were back home in Portugal. The local butcher that we go to also has a large “pantry” if I may say. All the products are from Portugal. In that case, in this Chicken Thigh Stew, we use Portuguese white wine, Piri-piri, Olive oil, and Bay leaf which grows in my backyard in Portugal. The flavour in this stew is rich and reminds me of home.

Meal 1: Shredded Chicken Thigh Soup with runny poached eggs.
Meal 2: Shredded Chicken Thigh Stew with Toasted Garlic Cheese Bread on the side.
Meal 3: Shredded Chicken Thigh Spinach and Mushroom Pot Pie. (this recipe will come out on next post.)
